What is it like to go through bariatric surgery with the support of your family? What is it like when your spouse or a close family member makes the decision to have surgery after seeing your own success? Jason and Natalie sat down with Sarah, Jason's wife, and Madeline, Natalie's cousin to dive deep into how having bariatric surgery can influence our family members into choosing a similar path. From comforting each other during major complications to accepting that you're not the "perfect" bariatric couple. In this conversation, you will discover what it truly means to have family along for the ride.
